Cotorsion pairs in $(d+2)$-angulated categories (2411.17975v1)

Abstract: Let $\mathcal C$ be a $(d+2)$-angulated category. In this paper, we define the notions of cotorsion pairs and weak cotorsion pairs in $\mathcal C$, which are generalizations of the classical cotorsion pairs in triangulated categories. As an application, we give a geometric characterization of weak cotorsion pairs in $(d+2)$-angulated cluster categories of type $A$. Moreover, we prove that any mutation of a (weak) cotorsion pair in $\mathcal C$ is again a (weak) cotorsion pair. When $d=1$, this result generalizes the work of Zhou and Zhu on classical cotorsion pairs in triangulated categories.
